Today's Devotional

Thursday 23 May 2013
"It came to pass that after this also,that the children of Moab,and the children of Ammon and with them other beside the Ammonites,came against Jehoshaphat to battle. For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir,utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir,everyone helped to destroy one another".(2 Chronicles 20 vs 1,23). That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional Today.

Today's Focal Scripture introduces three sets of people which gathered against Jehoshaphat in battle. The Moabites,Ammonites and the inhabitants of Mount Seir all came out against Jehoshaphat and the entire kingdom of Judah. These enemies didn't come one after the other. They came all at the same time. They came at once. They came together against one nation. It was a case of multiple problems coming at once.

Notice that the same nations that gathered against Jehoshaphat eventually turned around to destroy each other. They came in multiples,and instead of fighting against Jehoshaphat,they fought against themselves. It was a case of one problem fighting against another problem. The multiple problems eventually sorted themselves out. The problems defeated each other.

One of the distressing situation to encounter is when it seems the battles of life are showing up in multiples. Sometimes,financial problems,marital challenges,career issues,health problems etc all come up at the same time.

Friend,hear God's Promise to you: The battles against you will sort themselves out. The conspiracies against you will turn against your conspirators.

God may have allowed some battles in order to deplete the camp of your enemies. Some delays only helped you escape from danger. Some disappointments were God's opportunity to give you better appointments.

Pray with me,"Lord,may my challenges sort themselves out in Jesus name".

Have a Fabulous Friday!
